Request for suggestions: Best pick for open source OS X office suites that are Office compatible? Are any .docx compatible yet?
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Does anyone know if you can do a mail merge to email WITH attachments? My email is in word, my mailing list is in excel, and I have 2 pdf's that I want to attach. I tried Word help and didn't see anything.

Ita, I use NeoOffice, and it's been fine. I will say, my use of OFFICE is limited and pretty basic. Not sure if it will be fully compatible with advanced features. YRMV. Worth a look. It does *not* require installing X-11. So typical keyboard shortcuts still use the command key, not the option key.

It's not going to be free, is it? Well, it will be much more affordable.

I'm pretty sure it will be free. I have OpenOffice 3 installed and it works pretty well for the light duty stuff I do.

Sophia,
mail merge was the bane of my existence. the only suggestion I can offer is try thunderbird. they have a mail merge add-on that worked really well for me.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
anybody signed up for AT&T uverse? I seem to have done it. It looks like it will save me money -- and it solves my non-HD dvr problem .
and any one use VOIP as there main phone? I didn't do that ( but I did change my phone plan) - just curious if it works for anyone
